The Porters handbook requires new port submission in shar format:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-submitting.html

But really we should take them in any reasonable format. This is causing some valid submissions to get rejected when they shouldn't be. I think we want to include shar as preferred but also accept valid patches or other formats as long as they work well enough.
